Syntax

enum ro Weekday:Int
	sunday
	monday
	tuesday
	wednesday
	thursday
	friday

enum ro NamedColor:U32
	red   0xFF0000
	green 0x00FF00
	blue  0x0000FF

Each line under an enum represents a member and is composed of a name, and an optional initialization value.

Enum members are accessed similarly to object members:

set day:Weekday Weekday.thursday

Semantics

Enums "enumerate" a pre-existing type, most likely an Int.

Enum members can have explicitly defined values, but if they don't, their value is just incremented up from zero. The order in which members are listed in matters.
